Tom Homan isn’t known for mincing words—he tells you like he sees it, whether you like it or not. Thursday was no exception for the border czar as he laid into extremist CA Gov. Gavin Newsom for his incendiary rhetoric regarding Donald Trump’s efforts to bring order to our lawless cities.
On Wednesday, Newsom accused the president of using Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as his “private police force.” Homan let him have it:
“Newsom is an embarrassment to the position he holds. Hard stop,” Homan told reporters. “If he had an ounce of integrity, he’d be calling President Trump and thanking him for making LA safer. He’d be calling the head of ICE and thanking them for the thousands of criminals, public safety threats they’ve taken off the streets of California.”

The tweet continues:
If he had an ounce of integrity, he would be calling President Trump and thanking President Trump for making LA safer. He’d be calling the head of ICE and thanking them for the thousands of criminals, public safety threats they’ve taken off the streets of California.”
“He’d be calling Secretary Noem, thanking her.”
“If the data proves it, anybody can look at the data who we’ve arrested in California, he ought to be thanking us.”
“So Governor Newsom is an embarrassment to the position he holds. And, you know, he’s trying to be relevant apparently, whatever. But we’re gonna be in LA today, we’re gonna be in LA tomorrow, we’re gonna be in every California city. We’ll be in San Diego, I was in San Diego.”
Oof. I sure wouldn’t want to get on Tom’s bad side.
The Rise and Eventual Fall of a Humorless Hack
Newsom utterly slandered the law enforcement agency at a Politico Summit on Wednesday, scurrilously accusing them of being disloyal to the United States. This is today’s Democrat leader, folks:
“When they’re done with this — all that funding and that ‘big beautiful betrayal’ allows more resources for this private police force that increasingly is showing a tendency not to swear an oath to the Constitution, but to the president of the United States,” Newsom said.
I know he’s trying to gear up for a presidential run, and wants to contrast himself to not only his own party members but to President Trump – but what a disgusting thing to say. Is there nothing beneath this man? (Answer: apparently not.)
Newsom just keeps on with his peacock act—but he can’t ignore the reality that Homan and so many others continually remind him of.
He is a failure with a capital F.
You are correct. There’s no comparison. California is:
-homelessness (1 out of 50)
-poverty (1 out of 50)
-Retail crime (1 out of 50)
-gas prices (1 out of 50)
-illiteracy (1 out of 50)
-wage stagnation (1 out of 50)
-frivolous lawsuits (1 out of 50)
-unemployment (3 out of… https://t.co/LijFPEFhU8 pic.twitter.com/STdOlt2goZ— Kevin Dalton (@TheKevinDalton) August 24, 2025
